On my breakfast plate:
We got a  rather late start   this morning. hubs had a few errands around the house to accomplish, then he had an errand  to run around the county so we stopped  while we were out for  a nice breakfast at Country Cookin'  We hadn't been there in eons.. It was pretty good..

As I look outside my window...
 I see Hubs motioning me to come out  and  re pot my herbs.. so  here I go  for a few!
Whew, he has been after me for a week to do that...  but yeah it needed  it!!!
Alas, my rose garden is unchanged  Hubs  wants to wait for a while  but we are missing all this rain!!!


On my bedside table..
Well, my bedside table is   much better since I  reordered it.  I'm surprised Hubs didn't mentioned it!!!

On my reading pile:::
I am just beginning my last in the series by Caroline 
O'Connor..  Murder in an Irish Churchyard.  I have enjoyed these books,  especially because they highlight my favorite countryside villages in Ireland!

Continue through the Bible readings from Psalms, Titus, and Ecclesiastes .

From the camera:::
















Our daughter and her husband enjoyed  this fantastic concert at the Boston Pops in Boston  for Mother's Day...   they played excerpts of the movie  and played   the themes at the same time...   Good job  Josh... Nice Mother's Day for  Amanda

What I'm wearing today:::
crisp white 3/4 length sleeve polo  and  denim cropped pants..  ready for my meeting  coming up  soon!

One of my simple pleasures:::
I love recreating new table scapes using  what I can find... I do not go out for  expensive place settings although I do love to collect pieces that I  love to mix and match...    but I will enjoy this pleasure  this afternoon!













 This was one  from a couple of years ago...  as we move  nearer to Memorial Day followed by Flag Day.  etc...  hhmmmm.  getting an idea!!! 

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers::: 
Ed Welch preached at our church yesterday and he was amazing..  I love his clear and  lovingly gently way of  speaking..  When I got homw Hubs and I watched this and it  really transform your marriage... please  watch it with your spouse.. 
well worth it!!!!!!

Prayers 
Pray protection over The President and his family, and the administration, and for godly counsel! Scatter the network of evil schemes that  thwart 
the Constitutional flow of government

Pray against all division in our nation, that harmony and peace will reign supreme throughout the land. Also, pray that the Justice system will work properly and investigate and convict those who need to be held accountable for their acts against our nation

For the God's will to work its way through our Congress to promote a healing and a functioning environment. Pray God would turn the head of those who wickedly plot to bring out ungodly schemes in government and media 

Pray against delusion and lies of the enemy, protect the hearts and minds of the young, and especially the un-informed electorate!

Pray that pastors across the nation are renewed and re edified to preach the gospel using the whole counsel of God... Let no personal kingdom or agenda sidestep the work of the Spirit in the church!

Please, God, take back our institutions of higher learning

Pray for the sick that they might be healed

Pray for the peace and harmony of Jerusalem ...also pray God's favor over Bibi Netanyahu 

Pray for our service men and women overseas who put their life on the line everyday to protect our freedoms. Please add in the comments other names you would like named here!!
Joshua in Middle East

Pray for the lost who are bewildered and lost... they are hopeless in need of a loving savior

  1. We are also dealing with a lot of humidity and crazy storms. We did get down to the 50's this weekend which felt wonderful.

    I too love Jen Lilly, she is such a great actress and one of my favorites from Hallmark.

    Have a blessed week.

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
